My Work

I rescue vintage things. They find their way into my still life paintings to tell stories – sometimes dramatic and dark, sometimes light and fun. Recently I’m having great fun with vintage toys and sock monkeys.

I absolutely love making portraits of peoples’ beloved teddy bears and other toys! Go up to the attic or under your bed or in the back of your closet and find your favorite childhood toy again. Give him a hug and then commission me to paint a portrait for you!
